A member asked:

On and off diarrhea constantly. could i be intolerant of some foods?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Giardiasis: There are many different possible causes of this, but would need more history and an exam of the stools, but a common parasite, giardia lamblia, often creates a clinical condition like this and there are doctors who will treat for this empirically first before entering into a very detailed and expensive evaluation.
